Shifting Employment: Undeclared Labour in Construction
Reporting on the national investigations of undeclared labor in 10 European countries, this study analyzes the variety of forms of black labor in the construction industry. From the evidence of the reports, the highest incidence of undeclared labor relates to work carried out by workers in addition to their regular job. The status of self-employment is abused, with unethical practices by national citizens as well as foreign “independent” workers entering the market through labor-only subcontracting. This publication includes desktop research, a summary of the findings with conclusions, and the experts’ 10 country reports.

Managing Diversity and Equality in Construction
With women in the UK construction industry constituting just 13% of the workforce and black and Asian workers numbering only 1.9%, despite representing 6.4% of the working population, diversity is a problem that the construction industry needs to tackle directly.
In this key title, unparalleled in print, the managing of diversity is presented as an opportunity for the construction industry. Work is presented from several different countries and regions, including North America, Australia and Europe to provide a comprehensive picture of this complex and often sensitive issue, going beyond the traditional topics of gender and racial discrimination to encompass a wide range of diversity issues facing the construction industry. Issues covered include sexual orientation, disability and the work-life balance.
Essential reading for construction managers and a valuable resource for post-graduate researchers, this key title provides not only a thorough exposition of contemporary research

Answer by kioskee2003
Depending on education and years of experience, Construction Foremen earn every bit of the $ 40.00/hr, or higher, that they are paid. They can expect to work 60 hrs/wk with time and half overtime for everything over forty hours a week. You do the math.
